1. Re: What are the MINIMUM system requirements for multi-tasking DW, PS and FL using "easy" codecs?
Harm Millaard Mar 13, 2011 1:34 PM (in response to SuperCrawler)This is an impossible question to answer.
Is multitasking DW, PS, FL and PR a matter of editing a html file, switching to PS to edit a single image, switching to FL to create a SWF and switching to PR to edit a title, or is it having DW do a complete validation on multiple DHTML files, including SSE, running a resize action in PS on a couple of thousand images, encoding large files in FL and PR doing an export to a complex long form BRD?
That makes quite a difference. One thing is certain, memory may be about equally important as the CPU. Anything less than 12 or 16 GB will be a huge limitation, as well as anything less than an i7 with HT. Three disks is absolute minimum with that kind of multi-tasking, unless the first minimal multi-tasking description applies.

? Asking without looking where I was. I'm a newbie.

Thanks. That helped.

On which forum should I have asked my question?

Jeff Bellune May 30, 2011 6:33 AM (in response to SuperCrawler)With multiple apps and video codecs involved in your question, this forum is as good a place as any. No worries.

Thanks Jeff.
Then, as Harm described in post #1 above, if I wanted to have "DW do a complete validation on multiple DHTML files, including SSE, running a resize action in PS on a couple of thousand images, encoding large files in FL and PR doing an export to a complex long form BRD", am I on the right track looking at the i7-950 and the i7-2600K?

John T Smith May 30, 2011 8:09 AM (in response to SuperCrawler)Go to the CS5 Benchmark http://ppbm5.com/ and see what computer ranks where in the standings
My computer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 is "old" now since I built it just over a year ago, but I commonly have 3-4 programs open at a time with no problems
Do be aware that switching away from Premiere Pro (if you have that) and back again will have a bit of a delay while PPro "remembers itself" and gets everything back in order for editing... when I'm using PPro, I just don't do anything else
Other programs should have no problems at all with multi-tasking
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & write files
.
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file
